Ep 190: Ian Lara & Boulevardiers

*Music*
Yo! Yo-ho! We're here, folks!
We got a bartender mobile on demand.
What do you got for us today, Fatty?
I mean, we were talking, day drink feels like a boulevardia.
I like a Manhattan at night, what do you think?
Sounds good to me.
Well, Campari makes it feel like more of a day drink.
Yes, it's a little lighter, we got the nice giant cube balls there.
Cube ball, doesn't make sense.
It's an ice orb sphere.
I don't fucking know.
Anal bead, who knows?
They all come out the same color.
Great old David Talbot, yeah.
His best one about the anal beads.
That's how you know he's a great comic, he's got a genre of anal beads jokes.
The whole section.
My favorite thing to yell when I take them out is,
"The winning Powerball numbers are..."
Fucking to tell!
The king!
The king.
So I won't see another special from him for 15 years.
If we're lucky.
But yeah.
Alright, what do you got?
One part Campari, one part...
Bodega Cat, and yeah.
One part Bodega Cat.
It's like a Negroni, but with whiskey instead of the gin, you know?
Aha.
Okay.
Wait, Negroni's gin?
Are you serious?
Oh.
You know how many Negronis we've drank together?
I didn't know it was gin.
What do you think we're drinking?
Oh, I feel like I hooked up with a man.
A long time.
I've been duped.
That's gin?
I thought it was whiskey.
I can't tell if you're fucking with me.
Negroni?
Yes.
Negroni, please.
You didn't know that?
I had no idea.
Damn.
I can't believe you didn't know that shit.
Man.
What do they call a fake Negroni?
Like a mocktail.
No phony.
Really?
Oh yeah.
Damn.
I might have made that up.
That's not a thing.
Phony Negroni.
That's what it is.
That sounds like what you call a wigger.
From the peanut gallery we had Wegroni over there.
What?
Wegroni.
We had that from Peters over there.
Oh, okay.
Yeah.
But now you're a phony Negroni.
Phony, phony, groony.
All right.
All right.
Any money.
What's new, man?
I mean, we hung out yesterday.
Oh yeah.
That was fun.
What was yesterday?
We did R U Garbage.
Oh, that's right.
Yeah.
Always a fun.
You got to go to that studio, Peters.
You're going to shit blood.
It's just, they got a waiting room with couches.
I think we got a good studio.
We got a great studio, but they own a floor basically.
Yeah.
Well, they're paying way more than we are, but.
That's true.
But we get sandwiches.
I just ate a sandwich.
It was damn fucking good.
Now you're talking.
All right.
Yeah.
That's too hot out there.
The heat in this town is killing me.
It's brutal.
And my AC is like, the guy came by and he's like, it's working.
I'm like, no, it's cold, but it's just, there's no pressure.
He's like, oh yeah.
Yeah.
I'm like, well, you need the fucking pressure.
Need the pressure.
I got the fans going.
It's brutal.
I know.
I'm at home sweating my tits off.
I'm taking two showers today.
It's a nightmare.
I feel like Sidney Poitier in the heat of the night.
I'm like, what is this?
Mississippi?
This is brutal.
We're doing too many black references out of the gate.
This is, this is offensive.
What's it?
What's the other one?
Guess who's coming to dinner.
Yeah.
That's, that's like the woke pandering one.
Uh-huh.
It was like the Hollywood pat themselves on the back one.
Right.
In the heat of the night's way cooler.
Okay.
Same year.
Wow.
He did two.
He was, both were nominated for best picture.
Well, he won the Oscar and coming to dinner.
I think he did.
He might've.
Yeah.
He won for one.
Yeah.
It makes sense.
Yeah.
Also Bonnie and Clyde the graduate.
And I think Dr. Doolittle that year.
Cause there's a great book on it called pictures at a revolution.
Wow.
What a year.
Crazy year.
Dr. Doolittle was supposed to be a piece of trash.
to the pod today.
Richard.
Our buddy Ian, Ian Laura is here.
There we go.
Come on.
I'm making, we're making drinks here.
Speaking of the cronies.
Great to see you.
Hey.
Hey.
What's up guys?
Happy to be back.
Good to have you.
Happy to have you back.
You got Ian finance?
Oh, Mike.
Ian, no finance.
We had another guest, but he apparently bailed, so.
He bailed?
We had to do a two part.
We had to do a two person show, but.
Oh, all right.
It's going to be great with this.
Even better.
You just took my shine.
Yes.
It's all you.
This is great, Sam.
I've been seeing this all over.
Congrats.
You see?
People are talking about it.
He's worried cause it's not on the home page.
Oh, no.
I think this is better.
Really?
Yeah.
I mean, like, it's all over the things.
Cheers, by the way.
Hey, hey.
A little boulevardier.
There we go.
Let's drink to Sam's special.
Hey, you've changed.
I was literally.
Not on the home page.
We'll get it there.
Give it a search.
I was getting a haircut and I was gonna, I was like planning to go home and
watch it.
And then you hit me up.
I was like, oh yeah, I'll come through.
Hey.
Yeah, I'm a fan.
I still watch the things.
Really?
He watches comedy.
Yeah, Joe Liss always makes fun of me cause I like watch comedy.
I'm the same way.
I'll check in.
Yeah.
You too.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I watch a little, but I just, I'm scared.
I'm gonna, it's gonna come into my head.
One of the premises.
It does happen.
Yeah.
That does.
It worries me.
Cause what if you're doing a bit and he's got it from two years ago and you
worked the
tail on it and then you, you didn't realize he had it the whole time.
That's gonna happen regardless.
Yeah.
I guess.
Cause Jimmy Carr said that happened with you.
He did a bit that you did.
That's right.
And, uh, he called me and said, how do you feel about it?
And I go, you can put it out, but mine's already out.
So you're going to get shit.
And he was like, I'll deal with it.
And he put it out.
He put it out.
Yeah.
I mean, I've seen, there's stuff where I've seen like rock and Louie have like
a similar
thing and I'm like, they're close friends that watch.
Black people.
Yeah.
Like Balzy out of your mouth.
He did say the N word quite a bit.
Yeah, he used to.
There was a time.
I remember when I started comedy where every white comic needed an N word
because of Louie.
That was like the time.
Not me.
I was like, I don't know about that.
A couple.
But I think the difference, like you said, I think sometimes with the urban
comics, like
they'll know, they won't watch comedy at all.
Yeah.
And then like, they'll literally be doing bits and I'm like, oh, that's on this.
Yes.
Yes.
But if they're not standing up, they're like, I didn't see it.
I'm like, yeah, you know, but it's out there.
And they tend to not give a shit.
You're like, I think, uh, Jeff Ross has that bit.
And they're like, shit, I have that bit too.
Yeah.
Then they'll go, he stole it from me.
He did it in 91.
I'm like, ah, fuck him.
Yeah.
I remember one time, like when I was starting off, I told like a comic that a
famous comic
had his joke in this special.
And like, he was like an open mic and he was like, yeah, he stole it from me.
I'm like, what?
He's like, yeah, I did it at like Caroline.
I did that too.
He must've saw me.
This is like a main, it was DL Hughley.
It was like a huge comic.
Right.
Yeah.
He stole it from me.
People always do.
He's peeking behind the curtain.
Yeah.
Yeah.
People say, oh, that Bill Maher's monologue.
He did a bit I used to do.
And you're like, he didn't see you.
But the monologue is different because they have a whole writing stack.
That's true.
So they could have seen you do it.
True.
Yeah.
The monologue is different.
SNL gets shit for that where they're just like, cause you know, the way we're
worried.
I mean, they, they have that pressure cooker where it's like, fuck, I got five
days to.
Right.
Right.
So maybe they're like, oh, panic.
And like, oh, fuck.
This is it.
Cause I remember I thought of a bit once and it turned out to be an SNL sketch.
It was the other way around.
I remember that bit.
But I, and I was like, it felt like a very me bit.
Great bit.
The angle was like, uh, Halloween.
Yeah.
Like, like that's the best day for a registered sex offender to knock on your
door and be
like, I'm new to the neighborhood.
I'm a registered sex offender.
Cause you could pretend it's like a costume.
Yeah.
And they did.
And they did that as a sketch.
And I was like, oh fuck.
I immediately dropped it.
But it's like, but it happens both ways.
Yeah.
You ever had a bit where you were like, but I really came up with this.
Yeah.
Yes.
Of course.
I know they have some similar, but I came up with this.
Like I really wrote this.
I'd never seen him do it.
That's why it's so hard to drop it.
Cause you're like, oh, this is coming out of my head.
I'm here.
Yeah.
That sucks.
I feel like a lot of comics are like, I'll just write a new bit.
I'm like, yeah, but it's not.
It's not easy.
It's not easy.
That's like, say I'll just have another kid.
You're like, yeah, but I'm losing a kid.
Yeah.
I heard Louie say that once.
Just write another bit.
That's a good point.
I don't know.
I don't know when I once where he was talking about how Dennis Leary just took
his, I'm
an asshole.
Yes.
Like I'm an asshole.
That song was like a Louie bit.
Yeah.
And he's like, yeah, he took it from me, but I was like, whatever.
Yeah.
He said that I'll just, I'll, I'll, I'll write a new bit.
And I was like, man, Louie was on fire at that point.
I know that attitude to just be like, yeah, I'll write a new fucking.
Well, writing a new bit doesn't just mean writing.
You got to come up with a premise.
Sure.
So it's not, it's not that easy.
And a bit is like, you know, there's a thing of like, I wrote it.
I enjoy doing it.
I'm not tired of it yet.
Yeah.
Like once I'm tired of it.
Yeah.
I'll write a new one.
But if you're not tired of it yet, you're like, you ever be in an act and you're
like,
I just want to do this bit.
Like wait till I, and then you have to drop that one.
I know.
Yeah.
I always wonder.
Cause I'll, I'm not going to name any names, but I'll go to the cellar and I'll
see
four comics in a row do Trump.
Oh yeah.
And I'm like, oh man, that would, that would suck.
Cause we don't, I don't really do impressions, but imagine the guy before you
did an impression
you're about to do.
And the guy before him did one.
Yeah.
It's probably going to get worse too.
Right?
Yeah.
She's got to not book four impressionists back to back too.
I guess you're right.
But Trump is so popular.
Just you look at the line up.
You're like, Aerie Spears followed by fucking.
Yeah.
Daryl Hammond.
Yeah.
You're on a subway and like a homeless guy walks through asking everybody for
money and then
he closes the door and then the door opens on the other side and another guy
comes.
Yes.
Same thing.
I guess I have a bit about that, about how like the last one, like the first
one came
in and was doing like a song and dance and this guy just asked for money.
I'm like, oh, you got to step up your game.
Yeah.
Yeah.
That guy fucking brought it.
Do a Trump impression or something.
Yeah.
Yeah.
But the thing is that the seller, like, cause it is the seller, like a lot of
them are like
pretty good.
Oh yeah.
They're great.
It's not like one is so much better than the other.
They're all like, oh yeah, this is pretty good.
Yeah.
And it's still better than the crowd work guys who go up after each other and
they ask the same
questions.
Oh, that I'm so embarrassed when comics do that.
They'll watch them.
Like, did you talk to this table?
Look, I talked to all of them.
They're like, fuck.
Yeah.
I was going to ask them if that was his daughter or his wife.
Oh.
I didn't feel like before you go up, someone's like, oh, this is a girl with
big boobs
up there.
You want to talk about her.
Does that ever happen?
I don't care.
Yeah.
It happens to me.
I'm like, I don't care.
Yeah.
I'm always like, I don't care.
Yeah.
They're like, oh yeah, the couple in the front.
They just met.
Yes.
I haven't asked.
I don't know.
He's from Australia.
I'm like, I don't give a shit.
By the way, we're just talking about Will right now.
I love that.
How do you feel like this is what Will does?
You can act Will.
You can really do some jokes.
There was a time I was like, I've been at the seller where I'm like, it wo
